Swallowed a small screw

2020-11-03 04:09:31
My kid had swallowed a small screw day before yesterday. On day-1 we had an x-ray as suggested by pediatrician. He had suggested stool softener. Day-1 & Day-2 he had passed stool and we examined couldn't find the screw. Day-3 early morning we had X-Ray and screw is not present inside. Is there a possibility that the object might move upwards? Can someone help us here. We are worried. He had freqent hickups yesterday.

Wait and watch for a whole of 1week period. It should come in stools and hence watch stools carefully for screw n blood
